The Natural Swimming Hole In Maine That Will Take You Back To The Good Ole Days
The days of summer in Maine are here! There’s nothing like ’em…as long as the weather cooperates. There are plenty of beaches where we can soak up that northern sun, but sometimes it feels like everyone in Vacationland has that same idea. Instead of dealing with parking and lugging an umbrella out onto the sand, check out this wonderful swimming hole. Spending just a few hours here will remind you of your childhood summers – long days, cool nights and lots of scrambling to get home before dark and the wrath of grownups came down!
From the top of the falls, you can take a leap to land in the deep pool below.
If climbing to the top of the falls and plunging face first into the cold water isn't your idea of fun, there are plenty of easier ways to enter the water for swimming.
After doing some of the local hikes, the water is refreshing, offering a great way to cool down.
In the summer, the leaves on the trees allow for lots of shade with some sunny areas for sun worshipers.
Each of these is separated from the other by a small pool, which are all are great for swimming. The smaller pools are great for kids - there are lots of very shallow areas for mini-Mainers to build their courage.
The area is serene near the end of the day, when most folks have gone home.
Remember to bring a towel, sunblock and whatever you use to ward off ticks. Plan on spending the day here - you won't want to leave!
